So I am thinking of moving from a house that sits on 1/6th of an acre to a place that has 80 acres.
Yes that will be a HUGE change of life for me.
Here is my delima move the chickens or sell them and start over?
To get to the new place it will be a 6 hour drive non stop.
I am sure they will be happy with this going from a 50 square foot coop that is maybe 2 cubic yards of room and a run that is about 120 square feet. Plus the fact they could never be let out of the run. Going to a planned coop that will be walk in and floor of 8' x 12' and about 25 cubic yards of room with endless area for them to roam.
Can they make the move/change and adjust to the larger space? Or am I better off selling them and starting over? I have 7 hens that hatched 6/2013.
I am thinking if I move them it would be nice to get the new coop built first instead of getting them up there in some temporary housing for them?
Any suggestions or insight would be helpful thanks.
